The clinic continues to target priority populations including persons from 6 months to 24 years of age, no restrictions, and 25 to 64 years of age with underlying health conditions.
All persons 24 years of age or younger can receive the initial vaccination or a booster shot, a secondary dose needed for those age nine and under. Parents bringing their children to the clinic for booster shots are asked to bring their vaccination card with them to be updated.
Individuals who fall into the priority age group of 25 to 64 who have medical conditions that put them at a higher risk for influenza-related complications include those with heart disease, diabetes, asthma or chronic lung diseases, kidney disease, suppressed immune systems, and neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
CUPHD encourages those who will be attending either clinic to print consent forms prior to arrival and to wear short sleeves for a faster process. The consent forms can be downloaded at www.c-uphd.org. The vaccinations are free to the public with no residency requirements.
CUPHD and Christie Clinic will also be collecting non-perishable food items at the vaccination clinic that will be delivered to local food pantries to help those in need.
